xmas lights are somewhat overpowered by the illuminated junction

more signage ripples down onto coventry st

without traffic how would the space differ?

architecture of buildings is duplicated in the sign to make it fit in more

couldn't find a comfortable space to sit and take notes

large snow-globe in the centre changes space from its norm - this adds even more illuminated signage to the space but in an ordered fashion

Changing advertisements in Piccadilly - no sound which is news to me!

content is not all about brand awareness - useful things like tube updates are also displayed

bigger impact from entering the square from the tube - once close, the advertisement boards impact reduces due to its height above eye level

Ripleys on the east side of the circus has a strange combination of classical architecture with illumination

Listed buildings with classical architecture reflect the light from the advertisements - features are still indirectly effected

Two types of people

[GREEN] Tourists looking up in awe -pausing, taking time in the space- appreciative


[RED] Locals -pushed pass, head down, crossing streets dangerously creating a more chaotic scene with car horns, not taking in the atmosphere

Noise from traffic and bleeping traffic lights made the space more disorientating that the visual signs

illuminated signage continues down Shaftesbury avenue into the theatres
